Have you been told not to have sex (for a certain duration of time) by a doctor or a nurse?

Have you been told not to have sex (for a certain duration of time) by a doctor or a nurse, be it for healing or for preparation to an examination?

My urologist instructs me to refrain from ejaculating 5 days before a PSA blood test.

I was never specifically told by a doc not to ejaculate prior to a PSA test, but it was mentioned in the prostate exam brochure in his office.

My wife was told not to put ANYTHING in her vagina for some number of weeks (dont remeber specifically) following surgery to remove her ovaries. I assumed that would include not having sex - they didn’t mention “no anal insertions, but we didn’t do that either..

My PSA was a point higher than normal last year so my doctor ordered a followup test. I didn't say anything, just went along with it. I had just ejaculated an hour earlier. Sure enough the followup was back down to normal.

I should have added that I was told the waiting period applies to a prostate exam also.

After a rectal exam that confirmed prostatitis, my female MD told me to "no anal intercourse" until my prostate was back to normal. No problem.

When my wife was six months pregnant, she still liked me to come into her in missionary position. For a while, I was so skittish about possibly putting pressure on the baby that my wife thought it was hilarious. She assured me, "My doctor says it's fine." So we kept it up.

My doctor wrote up a lab request for blood work including a PSA test. She told me not to ejaculate for three days prior to the test.

I masturbated the night before a PSA test, and it ran high. The Dr. asked if I'd had sex recently and I lied and said I did. He said you shouldn't ejaculate 3 days prior to test too. Had me retake it in a couple weeks and came back normal then.

Recently experienced some surgery and the doctor told me not to lift anything heavy, no swimming, and no sexual intercourse for at least 3-4 weeks!

That is like three-strikes-you-are-out. Managed to have a nude massage or two at the local massage parlor and found the young ladies to be able to "honor" my request for no HEs today! Both promised to make-up for the lost opportunity on my next visits.

Have been told not to ejaculate for three days prior to having to produce a sample for a semen analysis. Also have had similar instructions as a prep for role play exams. Also I abstain from ejaculation for a few days prior to my annual PSA blood test.
